I am a really bad judge of how many apples to peel for a pie, so.....

I made two - one in a pie dish and one 'hand pie'. (Granny Smith and Fuji apples).
I wish I could share these with my heart gifters!

Nothing like the stuff that comes in jars from the store...

When we were kids my grandmother made hot applesauce and we scooped it over vanilla ice cream.
Yummy.

One of my uncles put it on his morning toast.
The kids thought it a bit of a stretch.

Stacked high with apples....

I have been fixated on using Granny Smiths and Honey Crisps for pies, apple sauce, salads...
But Fuji is an excellent apple too.

It shows light but the crusts are definitely done. I had a piece for dinner - the flavor is lovely.

Personally, I don't care for dark crusts. They taste scorched, to me. I've actually scooped out the fillings from pies I felt were overbaked and put them in a new crust. Just a matter of taste, I guess.
